Snow Balls/Russian Tea Cakes/Mexican Wedding Cookies

These are SOOO good. So simple but so good. The recipe doesn't make enough. I made these little bags for the teachers I help and my co-workers. It just so happens that the cookies match the design on the bag. I did notice the contradiction between the fall leaf background and the snowy bag/cookies. Oh well. Recipe below.
